turkmen nation is generally poor nation. [i am one
of this nation and i sea all things about them].
then we start a group to developing and translationg
free softwares [gonme & OpenOffice & Mozilla & TeX]
for them [and us]. then i think selling free softwares
with some fee is not a good idea in this nation.
most of them can't pay any money for buying a
computer.
a few turkmens can buy a medium computer with monthes
abd years of work. then if they want to buy softwares
what happened? really the can't.

our group started the translation of GNOME at
Sun, 18 Jan 2004. our works in this 1.5 monthes are:
 * education [for team members]
 * prepairing a dictionary for our work
 * making a website for group [not completed yet]
then you can see we are not idle at this time.
1.5 monthes is not a big time.

Sorry again,

finally i would like to say a thing to all
coordintors of GNOME:

we are work in turkmen GNOME team only for making
a free system for our citizens.
there are peoples [most of them are students] work
with unregistered win 3.1, amiga 500 and COMMODORE 64.
are you belive that?
we must work for them and we do.
